Historic Whiffletree place, 4br, riverview, no neighbors
Come stay at the beautiful and historic Whiffletree place. Located just 25 miles to Downtown Peoria, and on the main route from Chicago to Peoria, It’s the perfect place to escape and spend time with friends or family. Nestled on sprawling acres, boasting with panoramic views of the whole river valley, star lit skies & cozy nights await you.
THE HOUSE:
Whiffletree has a lot of character, that's why we love it so much. It’s old and historic, yet modern with current creature comforts. This spacious and newly renovated 2 story red brick home has plenty of room for a large family gathering or reunion and can accommodate 12 guests comfortably. We have WiFi, a hot tub, 4 smart TVs, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of acres to explore, a game room, kids bedroom equipped with toys and tons of space for relaxation.
There have been many famously known individuals who have enjoyed a stay at Whiffletree place, many of them on get-aways from the Chicago area in the early 50s. With the likes of Al Capone and Joe Louis as frequent visitors to name a few, this house leaves you with a feeling of historic pride. Questioning the past and imagining the stirs and noises that this home has heard.
During your stay explore the adjacent 41 acres of public land known as the Wightman Lake Wildlife Management area. Go bird watching from the birdwatch. Take a short walk to the Illinois River to fish or up water street to Frank park to let the kids play, hoop on the court or have a picnic at the pavilion. Or stay back and enjoy a fire at the outdoor firepit, relax in the private hot tub or take it all in and stargaze.
HUNTING/FISHING:
Marshall State Fish & Wildlife Area is just minutes from your stay with 3 areas.There is a 6-acre picnic area, fishing, and access to hunting and hiking trails adjacent to Route 26/29. The habitat ranges from upland forest to riverbottom to cropland. There are over 3,000 acres of public hunting land in Marshall county and surrounding Whiffletree. The Illinois River in Sparland is also known to be very good fishing, just a 5 minute walk from the house.
Guest access:
The house and surrounding 41 acres are free to explore. The west sunroom is still under renovations and will be locked. The east sunroom is accessible and free to enjoy just note it is not 100% completed. There is a closet on the main level and two closets on the second level that are locked in addition to the door to the basement. On the exterior of the property there is a smaller red building that is locked.
-We are close, so if a problem does arise we can promptly come out to the property to address any needs. Communication is best so that everyone can have a great experience! So please be sure to let us know about anything.
Other details to note:
We do provide smartTVs, we do not provide general cable due to the secluded/rural area. Wifi is available. Window AC units in almost every room May/September. The grocery stores in Lacon may not carry untraditional items or be as stocked as what you are used to. Kroger in Chillicothe is the best bet if you are looking for organic items. Or try out Lacons seasonal Farmers Market on Saturday mornings in the courthouse parking lot.
-We take many precautionary measures to eliminate insects. However, due to being near many farms, the river and the rural location in general. It’s possible you may see insects around the home. Country living is the best living!
-We do provide some fishing poles and gear that are available to use. Please notify us before your stay if you’d like to use the poles. Please know, if you are above the age of 16. You will require an IL state fishing license to fish public waters.
-Just across the bridge in Lacon is a quaint and cozy downtown. Many small shops and boutiques await you to explore, come experience the true heart of small rivertown living!
